Just 100 meters away, in that enormous, deep pit...

A huge monster was crouching there.

Its body is very similar to that of a human, with a torso and limbs, and also a head.

But it must be at least 5 meters tall!

It has no skin; to be precise, it resembles a human being that has been skinned, with bright red muscles, blood vessels, and some white fascia exposed on its body.

Its muscles are powerful, bulging and bursting, surely containing immense strength.

Boom.

Boom.

It was crouching on the ground with its back to the crowd, seemingly eating something crisp.

The eerie chewing sounds echoed throughout the underground space, sending chills down one's spine.

Men Luosha squinted, straining to see, "It's eating... Shitou?!"

And the next moment.

Men Luosha's eyes widened. "It's not Shitou, it's... Source Matter Ore! No wonder it's hiding so deep underground, it's looking for Source Matter Ore! This Starvation Corpse's true form is extremely gluttonous!"

Tie Liang, standing to the side, was stunned. "Eating Source Matter Ore directly? That stuff has a melting point of over 3,000 degrees Celsius, it's harder than alloys, and it can actually chew it?!"

Men Luosha smiled faintly, "Different monsters have different attributes. Perhaps this Starvation Corpse is just good at eating. Look at its size; it's about the same as the failed bio-engineering sample we captured before, and that mutated mandrill. It shouldn't be too difficult to deal with."

Immediately.

Men Luosha opened his personal smart device and found a detailed 'monster file' containing 320 different types of monsters, ranging from small insects to large mutated creatures. Each monster had a detailed file, including but not limited to physical characteristics and attack power.

The team members all knew.

This is an archive created by Sister Sha herself, and it's unique in the world!

Moreover, the strange creatures among them were all captured by them over the years!

Even though the Experimental Zone is huge, mutated life forms, failed experiments, and all sorts of monsters are still in the minority. Sister Sha has almost completely collected all the monsters in this world!

But then Men Luosha slowly typed in the words.

Name: Starvation Corpse

Height: Approximately 5.2 meters

'Grade: Estimated B (Moderately Weak)'

'Detailed observation report:...'

Men Luosha entered the information here and then closed the file. The remaining content can be carefully refined after the Starvation Corpse are captured!

The crowd turned their gazes away from the Starvation Corpse.

A sudden tremor ran through me.

But then they saw that the Starvation Corpse had already stood up, its blood-red eyes staring straight at the crowd!

and.

The Starvation Corpse did not stop eating. Its naturally drooping arms suddenly grew longer, and it picked up a piece of Source Matter Ore from the hard ground. People could see that there was a mouth full of sharp teeth in the palm of its hands. While holding the Source Matter Ore, the mouth in its palms was also tearing at the Source Matter Ore.

It then placed the Source Matter Ore into the head's mouth, which opened in an exaggerated arc, swallowed the Source Matter Ore in one gulp, and then chewed it with crunching sounds.

Some crumbs will fall out of the skull's mouth.

But then, a fanged maw suddenly opened on the chest of the Starvation Corpse, and a tongue emerged from its mouth, scooping up all the fallen crumbs and chewing them again!

This scene sent chills down everyone's spines.

"Bluff!"

Men Luosha raised an eyebrow. "Tie Dong, Tie Xi, you two flank them, prepare to deploy the electromagnetic net!"

The two riders nodded and galloped off to either side.

"Roar!"

But then the Starvation Corpse let out a low growl, and the dust on the ground was blown up and steamed by its breath!

It slowly raised its hand, and the two mouths in its palm opened, spitting out two jet-black worms. These two worms covered a distance of more than ten meters and directly attached themselves to the tops of Tie Dong and Tie Xi's heads, then melted into black liquid and seeped into their brains!

At first, Tie Dong and Tie Xi didn't react much, but after taking a few steps, their bodies quickly became emaciated, turning into skin and bones, and even their hair fell out in clumps!

Thump!

Thump!

The two men collapsed some distance away, their fate unknown!

"It's releasing the ' Hunger Particle '!"

Men Luosha then realized his rashness and shouted, "Everyone, activate the protective shields immediately!"

Blue light shields lit up; some of these plasma screen devices were installed in the mechanical limbs, while others originated from the trigger modules on the chest.

Under normal circumstances, this A+ grade defensive shield can easily withstand attacks from a man-portable grenade launcher.

Unfortunately, Starvation Corpse is not in the same league as a howitzer.

It seemed as if the wind was whistling around its body, and in an almost instantaneous manner, it moved to the side of a rider. Its huge muscles contracted and stretched, and its fan-sized palms slammed directly onto the defensive shield.

Boom!

The ground shook!

The defensive shield immediately disintegrated, turning into fragments of light and shadow that vanished without a trace.

The Starvation Corpse grabbed the rider by the neck, swung his arm, and flung him into the darkness behind him. Apart from a dull thud, the rider made no further sound.

The Starvation Corpse stretched out its palm, and in its mouth, it was biting a piece of the rider's flesh. But after chewing it, it spat it out, seemingly disdaining to eat such a thing.

Boom boom boom!

Various lights flashed, and beam weapons and tranquilizers struck the Starvation Corpse's body simultaneously. However, the Starvation Corpse's seemingly translucent red flesh remained as solid as an impenetrable wall, without even a single scratch.

This moment.

Everyone realized the seriousness of the situation.

But it was too late.

More than a dozen riders were grabbed by the neck by Starvation Corpse and slammed against the wall.

final.

Only Tie Liang and Men Luosha remained.

Tie Liang stood in front of Men Luosha, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the slowly approaching Starvation Corpse.

"Sister Sha..."

"You saved my life."

"Even my elderly parents were cured of their illnesses thanks to your financial assistance."

Everything I have is a gift from you.

"I'll return it to you today."

Tears welled up in Tie Liang's eyes. "Sister Sha, in a moment, you run for your life, run to the ground, and I... will detonate my mechanical limbs."

Tears welled up in Men Luosha's eyes, "Tie Liang..."

Tie Liang slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing his mechanical legs and hands. The canister modules within were already in operation, assembling some kind of powerful bomb.

Tears streamed down Tie Liang's face as he trembled, "Sister Sha, don't blame yourself. You know, my dream is the JJH-66 ' Hou Yi Prosthesis,' with 12 different transformation functions... When you have money in the future, buy one for me. Remember, choose the gift set, that way..."

"In that case..."

This leads to the most common type of clichéd plot.

A sudden sound came from behind. Tie Liang turned around and saw a young man in black, slightly out of breath, climbing on a boulder.

The young man said, "Men Luosha made a command error during this operation, resulting in the deaths of her comrades. Her most loyal friend, Tie Liang, even sacrificed himself to protect her during the retreat. She was filled with remorse. When all else failed, she bought the ' Hou Yi Prosthesis,' placed it before your tombstone, and wept bitterly. Between sobs, she blamed herself, saying, 'If only Tie Liang were alive...' 'It's all my fault...' 'Sobbing...'"

Tie Liang was stunned.

I squeezed out the tears in my eyes. Brother, this should be a touching scene of someone willingly going to their death. I had just managed to build up my emotions.

Men Luosha was also stunned.

Qin Yiguan? What are you doing here? Just another free kill?

Qin Yiguan smiled, then slowly shook his head, "To avoid seeing such a clichéd plot, I've decided..."

Immediately.

The black-clad youth stared at the Starvation Corpse, all expression vanishing from his face. A chilling aura emanated from his very bones, even more terrifying than the horrifying Starvation Corpse themselves!

"I've decided to kill this monster ahead of time!"

With a roar from the boy.

The Starvation Corpse also teleported in instantly, its muscles tense, and its huge hand slammed down on the boulder at the boy's feet. Boom!

Gravel flew everywhere!

Qin Yiguan was sent flying backward, landing sprawled on a distant boulder, his arm seemingly broken.

Qin Yiguan: "Sorry, I forgot, I'm skin and bones right now, I have no strength."

Tie Liang put his hands to his forehead.

He immediately got into character, his eyes welling up with tears, and said, "Sister Sha, let's stick to my plan. Remember, we need to choose the VI version of the gift box; it contains 19 arrows..."

And in that very moment...

A dense darkness emanated from Qin Yiguan's body.

The coverage area was not large, only about a hundred meters in radius, just enough to encompass the Starvation Corpse!

Immediately.

A roar, seemingly carrying the scent of blood and carnage, spread from the darkness!

It was as if Hell had cracked open, with countless spirits circling and wailing!

At the same time, a very realistic smell of blood filled the entire underground cave!

Boom boom boom!

The roar of a gigantic monster echoed in the darkness, causing the ground to tremble!

Clang!

A metallic clang followed, along with a high-frequency vibration!

Boom!

In the darkness, it seemed as if two monsters were colliding in a terrifying way!

Countless pebbles were falling softly from the top of the cave!

Tie Liang and Men Luosha were both stunned. They didn't know what had happened, only that a burst of darkness had enveloped Qin Yiguan and the Starvation Corpse.

Boom!

Another collision occurred in the darkness, followed by the sound of a sharp blade piercing leather!

The smell of blood was even stronger and more pungent!

Men Luosha's eyes suddenly widened. "I remember now. A few days ago, something big happened in B6 Sector. A mysterious person stopped the disaster. Rumor has it that his ability is to use darkness... What was his name again?"

It was at this time.

The darkness ahead gradually dissipated.

In the hazy light and shadow.

Qin Yiguan's body was still as thin as ever. He stood quietly on the ground, his eyes were somewhat red, and his face was ferocious. Behind him stood a huge monster.

Even experienced monster hunters like Men Luosha and Tie Liang had never seen anything like it.

The monster was ten meters tall, with a grotesque and jagged body. Its hands and feet were all sharp claws, and four silver wings on its back, which looked like alloy, were flapping rapidly. It exuded a terrifying aura that did not belong to this world, as well as a strong smell of blood.

The monster held a steel fork in its hand, pointing it diagonally towards the sky.

When Men Luosha's Pupil looked at the top of the steel fork, they shrank to the size of black dots.

All that could be seen were the bodies of Starvation Corpse pierced through the steel fork!

The previously incredibly powerful Starvation Corpse was now completely pierced, and blood flowed freely down the steel fork!

The Starvation Corpse were limp and motionless, clearly already dead!

"Hehe."

Qin Yiguan chuckled in a low voice, his aura even stronger than that of the steel fork monster!

A chill ran down Men Luosha's spine.

"I remember now."

"That mysterious person..."

He was known as... Demon-like Youth!
